I would like to start doing pilates this year or yoga, not sure which will be more enjoyable, but I want to try them. I also have set a goal to be nicer to myself and not let the scale and negative thoughts rule what I believe about myself. Hard goal. Working on it.

@LauraM44My goal is to take up my lifetime love again and join my local tennis club! Last year I successfully switched from sugar to honey in my coffee (BIG deal for me!) so this year it's time for an exercise goal. I was a certified tennis coach for over 15 years, but going to a university in Canada with no indoor courts meant I slowly stopped playing over the years. It was my natural way of staying in shape (since I just enjoyed it and didn't see it as a chore), so when I stopped that, I didn't have any way or habit to stay fit. Now it's time to change that!!

@AprillxMy goal is to be more active this year. I used to walk a lot and take dance classes when I lived in Hong Kong, but now that I'm in Canada, I barely do classes! So, that will change - especially when I'm still in University and have my resources!

My health goal is to lose my baby weight. I have 10 pounds to go with this child and then another 5 to get back to where I was before kids. I am trying to make time for myself to work out from home while the children are napping - that has been a challenge so far. I am hopeful that as we get into a routine now it will get easier. @crazyladybibs

This year, I would like to READ more. I literally have over 50 books sitting here from the past decade that I haven't had a chance to read (busy having babies etc) and I would like to try to get to some of them. Last year I only managed to read 4 books over the course of the year, this year I would love it I was able to double that number. Might not sound like much, but I have 5 kids and limited "quiet" time where I can concentrate on reading :) andrea_hockeygirl at hotmail dot com

My goal is to incorporate more veggies into my diet. I really do not like veggies but now that I got a juicer for Christmas, I will definitely try to make more green juices. I also hope to tone up my arms and legs.

My goals are to start a regular scheduled approach to exercise and not just a hap hazard approach I have use up until now. Ideally 30 minutes of scheduled exercise at least 3 times a week. Walking is where I plan to start since I can do that anywhere, just as long as it is at the scheduled time and for the scheduled amount of time and I can track it. @cantoncathy
